My friend and I had an argument about politics and she said some really bad things about America. I finally got sick of it and told her that she should leave the country if she didn’t like it especially since she's here illegally. I tried to apologize to her about our argument later but she said I took a "low blow" by bringing up her illegal status-- especially since I knew her situation. I'm stuck between defending myself and whether or not to just let this friendship go. What should I say or do?

I was in an 8 year relationship, that I shouldn't have been in...I am wondering did I miss out on what should have been with someone else.

I believe it is unlimited...but the world has changed so much. People are so surface now, and everyone is out for themselves.

Every time we go out anywhere, non-English speaking people always come up to me and need help with something (directions, translating street signs, etc). I figured it happened to everyone all the time but my friend is sitting here teasing me about it. She says even other people's pets who normally hate everyone love me. It's true though I'm not complaining - I love the interactions with so many amazing people. Like one time a guy from Nigeria was trying to order lunch in a cafeteria but couldn't articulate what he wanted. I happened to walk by and he sort of grabs my arm and asks for help. The waitress was getting pretty frustrated (it was really busy, as I recall). After that we dated for a few months! Another time a guy at a gas station was trying to put gas in his rental car. He spoke no English at all, but I had no trouble understanding him. It was awesome! There were at least a dozen other people around and some of them were closer to him. Please tell my friend this is normal!

I had an argument with a friend over something stupid but I think she and I both said some things that were offensive. I tried to apologize and move forward but she is ignoring me. I feel really hurt now and I didn't even start this argument. How do I move forward and past this hurt?

I see people posting their answers as "This is inappropriate. You have been reported." It all seems a little ridiculous.

Carefully screened foreigners contributed significantly to technology to enable US to be the superpower. They contributed very significantly to the economy and the cultural diversity. Did 9/11 change all that and inspired the American public to a negative attitude about them? Are they being treated differently now than in the 20th century?

I need help being more Christian Minded, and in my actions?
I try and try to be judgmental, and tell people that they are going to hell because they don't believe in our savior, but I just can't do it. Any suggestions on how I can judge others, but not take into consideration my own sins, and feel good about it? I know it's possible because I see people do it every day in this section. Do I need to give up on this whole "honesty with self" kick I am on? Or should I just make like everyone else and judge people on an impossible standards that even I cannot measure up to? Just curious. Notice I did not say I needed more help being Christ Minded. I have no trouble with that. His principles seem to agree with mine.

"You generalize too much" , "You haven't met everyone in the world to say that" along with "Where did you hear or read that?" are common blurts from the politically correct.

For one thing, the second one is an impossible standard to measure up to and even they must realize it.
One does not have to meet everyone in the world to identify some kind of patterns or regularities amongst certain groups of people.

For example, the average Asian is shorter than the average white person; more blacks live in poverty than don't, the majority of terrorists in the world are Muslims, etc. Like it or, not that's the way it is.

Another thing is, they only seem to use the last when someone brings up a pattern that they don't agree with or like. When they do agree with the observation they don't demand proof or sources, their own judgement is good enough for them. But only then, of course.

They only choose to believe what they want to. Do they ever think of the hyprocrisy in that?

I think the black men who refuse to be with black women have self image issues.

They think they're higher up with a non black woman

They unconciously hate themselves for being black. It's a slave mentality that trickled down from one generation to the next.

I'm an attractive black man and if any black queens would like to see my pic or chat, click here http://www.listentocharlie.com

The Tao Teh Ching says that if we relent from exalting the talented, there will cease to be jealosy and rivalry. I don't think it means that we shouldn't recognize talent, simply that putting those with talent on pedestals is dangerous and is harmful to society in general. Just curious as to your opinions on this idea.

What do you think? i was listing to the Bill Press Show on Sirius this morning and he was telling a story about a up and coming athlete that was training to be a bike rider. this 75 year old man hit him and the guy was seriously injured and all the old man got was a 175 dollar fine for an illegal left turn. Now i know a lot of people think old people should off the road and have there licenses taken away. but this is like the question i asked one time "if some one was trying tp pass a state wide smoking ban would you vote yes?" now this is very similar a yes for a smoking ban or taking old people's license's would be for there own good but arent we soposes to have freedom? i want to know What you think??????????????????????????????????????????????????

Is there a clear cut definition at all? Then what are the White Community norms as opposed to Black Community nnorms or Ltino Community niorms? Religious Norms? Then again are the Workplace Norms? Are they different from all the above? If so what are they? Do the corporations write clearly in their employee handbooks what they are?
INS has been screening carefully all the foreigners that are admitted to US; why don't they have a program to educate foreigners about these norms?
